We rocked this workout, finishing 2nd or 3rd in our heat. According to my teammates, I turned a nice shade of blue during my turn. I swear I was breathing!!

WOD #2
10 min to max out clean & jerk, seated press, snatch, and front squat
Each teammate must do a different lift and you want your total lifted weight to be the highest.

Strength was our weakness, sadly. We fell behind here. I see how people PR during these events, though. My team was right in front of where the crowd stands, and I was struggling with the 95# snatch (This is my max, and I had barely warmed up). I got the bar over head and just had to stand and I studder stepped a few times (scared the crap out of the front row of spectators) then locked out and everyone was cheering! I'll say it again, CrossFit is so great because the people you are surrounded by go from your competition to your cheerleader in seconds... its so amazing.

WOD #3
Chipper!
100 kettlebell swings (100 between the men and 100 between the women)
100 box jumps (ditto)
50 lateral jumps over parallettes
5 pull-ups chest to bar (with assistance from team mates if needed)

We finished this WOD fast, we were in the top again, but we weren't able to beat the #1 team here. Those pull-ups required almost no arm strength....from me at least! This was a fun workout, except for when I slammed my knee against the box jump. Tara, the other girl on my team really helped me after that. I momentarily lost my ability to jump and she hopped right back in after barely getting a break to rest.

WOD #4
20 minutes total
10 minutes for women first, every minute on the minute do 5 burpees then as many wall-balls as possible alternating between the 2 women.
Then the men did the same for 10 minutes.
The goal is to get the most wall-balls

We rocked this workout, if we weren't first, we had to be second. We got 403!

We came in 5th place out of 23 or 24 teams? I'm not sure...but we really did great! The other 2 teams from my box came in first and second! I am surrounded by fantastic athletes!

Sunday was rest day and celebratory cheat day! It was great. The BF and I couldn't move in the morning....unfortunately the excessive amounts of water we drank the day before got the best of us and our bladders could no longer handle it. I made sweet potato hash and eggs...which Matt added to it steak and vegetables because he's a beast.

Then we slowly got ready and headed to Barnes & Noble to drink sugary sweet happiness and read.

You're a rockstar! nice job!! I think snatches are definitely the trickiest lift in the universe, but it looks like you at least know how to do it correctly :) Just keep on pulling, the weight will get there!!

Looking for something?
